If you are looking for something completely different from your average hip hop, you might want to check out Killah Priest. His music is full of thought-provoking metaphors and concepts. He uses a lot of theological/religious references and combines them with tales from the hood. The end result is music that is dark, cryptic, and yet gangster as hell. When you are in the mood to be taken away from the mainstream garbage on the radio and want to be mentally stimulated, throw on a Killah Priest album and get taken into another dimension. There is no one else who even comes close to what he does with musical concepts. This new mixtape I Killed The Devil Last Night is right in line with what you expect from him. He begins by telling listeners of how he fought with and then killed the Devil. The rest of the mixtape flashes back and forth describing the ways he humanizes the Devil as a hood-dwelling gangster. Priest reveals how he met, befriended, and then eventually had to part ways from this “Devil.” Many of his concepts on this are told in poem/story form and not in traditional rap format. This can turn many listeners off, but I feel like it is an effective way to get across his messages. This mixtape started off really strong then ended below average and it was also way too long. Priest’s weakness is that he devotes himself so much to a concept that he would rather go off beat or out of sync than abandon his message. Also, his acting in skits can get a bit corny. Lows aside, this is one of the most inventive and interesting mixtapes I have ever heard. If you can stand something radically different than what you are used to, pick this up. The standout SONGS were, The Long Ride, Wu Hoo Freestyle, Power Freestyle, Puff A Cloud, and The Coming, 3.75/5.
